2 - 2.5 hrs prior is sufficient @ philly. probably more than sufficient.

3 hrs is coming home from aruba.
recommended time line for travel from aruba is airport arrival 3 hrs prior to departure time.

All Delta flights are on the south concourse.

We fly only Delta and only out of Atlanta. I cannot remember the last time we flew a Delta flight to anywhere out of anywhere but A or B. T gates we will fly out of, if on an Embraer or Canadair Jet on domestic travel.

Our Aruba flights usually depart from B Gates.

Airport transportation from concourse to concourse is comparable to a subway. Directions are well marked and transportation runs through the entire south concourses T - F (F = new international concourse). Very efficient and runs every couple of minutes and would take maybe a minute or two between each concourse.

There are a good number of choices for eateries, including take out. If you have time, eat before your flight or pick up something for the flight, including a drink for the road or to carry on with you. In economy Delta has food for purchase, but otherwise a pack of pretzels or cookies and a soda.

On our flight in June they only came through with the beverage cart once followed up by only a second run with coffee on the way down and glasses of water on the way back. So if you are very lucky the drink cart will come through twice We have taken to traveling with our own beverages.

Arrivals
• Most international flights will arrive at Concourses E or F, although some international flights from "pre-cleared" countries will arrive on Concourses T through D.

For first time Aruba travelers, Aruba is a "pre-cleared" country. Arrival at concourses T - D make connections to your final destination much much easier.
